Last years London was my first attempt Matt and i clocked 6:11

Admittedly i limped over the line but its still a great experience.

tbh all convicts look the same in that garb

looks about the right number and the chain looks the same too so i wouldn't be surprised if they did run silverstone half too

First long distance was Silverstone half (1:27 IIRC) followed by London a couple of months later (3:29). Must admit, the difference between the two was like night and day!

My forthcoming schedule fitness permitting, there will be a goodly selection of races added in for March that are local to me.

Coniston and Dent 14 milers, Haweswater half for a start unless they clash with the Duchy marathon.

Hmm i could have clocked up 10 marathons by this time next year if i can keep fit, makes a good start on my aim off 100 of them. Was giving my self a target of by age 50 roughly which would give me 20 years at 5 a year.

Good planning Bagpuss. My current schedule is blank in contrast. Might head down for the Bushey Park 5k this weekend though - give me an idea of how fit I actually am right now!

retired_sander

if i was in london i'd go to one of the 5k races at least twice a month to check how i was doing

probably vary the location too otherwise it would get boring
